Abstract
Background: A number of modifiable factors that contribute to poor asthma control have been identified. We wanted to know how many patients had insufficient therapy, adherence, or major inhaler technique errors, and how they affected asthma control.
 Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional multicenter observational research with asthma patients who were referred for the first time from primary to specialized treatment. Adequate prescription according to guidelines, treatment adherence, and illness control were among the data collected. 35.9% of the 1682 patients (age 45-17 years, 64.6 percent men) had insufficient prescriptions, 76.8% had low adherence, and 17 percent had critical inhaler technique errors, with Easyhaler users making significantly fewer critical errors than other dry powder inhaler users (10.3 versus 18.4%; p 0.05). Inadequate prescription (OR: 3.65), non-adherence to therapy (OR: 1.8), and inhaler abuse were all linked to poor asthma control (OR: 3.03). A greater number of risk variables were linked to a greater likelihood of having poorly managed asthma.

According to a recent study, numerous factors may be implicated in poor asthma control, three factors appear to be the key causes of poor asthma control in primary care
Summary
Asthma is a frequent disease that costs a lot of money in terms of healthcare and lost productivity [1]. Asthma exacerbations are currently one of the most common reasons of Emergency Department[4] visits, highlighting asthmatic patients' poor management. Exacerbations can be caused by a variety of circumstances, including exposure to external stimuli, poor adherence to medication, inadequate therapy, and poor inhaler technique in the case of uncontrollable asthma [4-6]. The study's primary goals are to (1) determine the appropriateness of prescribed treatment, as well as the presence of poor adherence and critical errors in inhalation technique in patients referred from primary care to a specialist for the first time, and (2) investigate the International Journal of Medical and Biomedical Studies (IJMBS). We wanted to know how many patients had insufficient therapy, adherence, or major inhaler technique errors, and how they affected asthma control. Inadequate prescription (OR: 3.65), non-adherence to therapy (OR: 1.8), and inhaler abuse were all linked to poor asthma control (OR: 3.03).
